A little under a year ago, the package "leftpad" broke NPM builds all over the world because the author pulled it from the public repository.

The same is happening today, for "pinkie-promise". The author's NPM account (@floatdrop) was deleted, opening opportunities for malware in all the packages he's written.

Dependent builds include Ionic and (in my case) node-sass.
